Watching a great movie, always (and I mean seriously, every single time) puts me in a happy place. I am called to blog and express gratitude.

An answer to a question I asked Siri ❤️

I wonder why did they make movies? The guy who had the idea of making a movie, I wonder what made him jump to this idea. Did he know, I was sitting here in his future sending him love n good wishes for doing so..

I love movies! Sometimes I actually consider the career of a movie critic, who would watch movies for a job. I love movies! There is great power in art, to bring the influence of an intention. And movies reach out to the masses..

Be it entertainment, or art films, foreign films or local films, the medium is powerful. Like every art. Movies have great power..

If watching movies lightens us all up, I wonder why we don’t watch them too frequently.

I’m such a happy soul! We live opposite to a studio ( where movies have been shot in the past, even though not much happens now) n the street we live on is named after the legendary Dada Saheb Phalke whose passion was movies. And we live so close to an awesome movie theatre..

Wonder if it’s the vibes of this place that drive me crazy on such nights when I’m returning from watching an awesome movie..

I would love to be associated with an influential, emotions recharging, change bringing movie.. I would love to be responsible in the creation of it, for playing a part, however big or small in shifting the way people think n feel..

Yeah❤️ I’d love that!!

I say stuff like this, when I’m high from an extraordinary movie!! Or from an extraordinary piece of art that I’ve created ..or when I’m writing ‘vulnerable n flowing from the heart’ kinda stuff..or when my child showers me with endless love..

Would you find those three words that did justice to a life that you call ‘yours’??

It was easy to find three words that described the richness of life for me!

I have a list of stuff that makes me happy. And all of the items on the list seem to be connected to these three words.

1. Art!!!

My love for art, is thanks to the depth that it adds to my life.

I may have not been an avid reader, yet writing has been my saviour: the one that gave me courage when life seemed hollow.

Movies give such an added dimension to life. As if you have travelled the world in the shoes of a stranger.

Music, plays, paintings or be it any art ! It simply allows us to connect with the creator within.

2. Family!

If not for my family, I would never have felt grounded to this planet. Perhaps I would be travelling the globe like a nomad who knows nothing of his roots.

My family is my biggest gift 🎁 and every time that I imagine my dreamy life, my family is right there, as if they were an extension of me (n they are)

3. Oneness!!

It’s this deep feeling of oneness that soothed me as I stared at the royal mountains in Auli, or listened to the gurgling sounds of the bhagirathi.. my trip to auli has been the trip that I most frequently go back to in my head n heart..

It’s this same feeling that takes me over when I’m in nature, with flowers or birds…traveling in an unknown country, getting to know the culture of the people there..

It is the highest self that presented itself here and I offer loads of gratitude for more n more of such connections (that stay loooong)

Also, the fb page, managing Intuned in general is such a joy in itself❤️

Going beyond, how many lives it touches, I’m learning to find joy in the process❤️❤️❤️

And that itself is a big WIN❤️❤️❤️

6. And last but not the least, the blog site ibelivetoday.wordpress.com❤️
